Mediating a divorce with the services of a skilled family mediator is one alternative to litigation.  Mediation encourages the couple to retain control over the divorce—not the lawyers, not the courts.

Couples may participate in mediation with or without lawyers.  Individuals are encouraged to seek the advice of their own attorneys at any time. Mediation permits the two people who have the most knowledge of the economic and emotional situation of the family to shape the divorce

Mediation offers a confidential setting in which all issues concerning money and children are discussed and resolved.  Mediation enables a couple to control the costs of divorce.  Mediation encourages divorcing couples to give high priority to the needs of their children.

Mediation starts the family on the road to healing.  Couples practice cooperative behavior that can be used to meet the challenges of the future.  Couples meet with the mediator together, for as few or as many sessions as it takes to resolve their issues.

Couples may reach a resolution of their divorce before they have begun legal proceedings or at any time while the divorce is underway.  The law requires couples to mediate before they can try the case with a Judge. With voluntary mediation couples can engage a mediator in the beginning of the process.

Call for a confidential consultation to discuss whether mediation is a sensible solution for your divorce.
